Malaysian Aircraft Mystery Prompts Spike in Enquiries for Aviation Speakers

On Saturday 8th March Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 00.41. Carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members – including pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid – the flight was due to arrive in Beijing at 06.30. However, the plane lost contact with Malaysia Airlines less than an hour after take-off and, since then, has been the subject of a worldwide search.

The plane’s baffling disappearance has been shrouded in mystery and, with little in the way of leads, evidence or findings, has also been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. The search area has been dramatically expanded and now covers a total three million square miles and involved dozens of ships and planes from governments across the globe.

The investigation into the missing plane has recently focused on the actions of Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah and the Malaysian authorities have looked into the possibility of him deliberately steering the plane from its flight path.

The latest progressions in the case have involved satellites picking up images of possible pieces of aircraft debris. Firstly, the Australian search team revealed on 20th March – nearly two weeks since the plane disappeared – that they have spotted two objects on satellite images in the southern Indian Ocean. Since then, Chinese authorities have also reported a sighting of debris, prompting an extensive search of the area.

The mystery of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight has kept the world, and all its various media outlets, hooked. And, following the bizarre disappearance of flight MH370, the team here at Kruger Cowne have experienced a significant rise in the number of enquiries for talent able to speak on aviation, passenger profiling and security.
